Endgame Community & Server Migration

[Septimus]

everyone will transfer to BG's server and apply to BG

And that is why we will state in big bold letters that we aren't going to accept cross server applications.

Of course, no one is going to listen...

[Xfaustx]

the real question is... how will you know they are cross server? o.o;;

*edit* at least if they dont say theyre from another server.

Couldn't you use Friendlist plus for this? I'm not sure but I vaguely remember that you could track down people using one of those utilities.

[Charitwo]

FL+ is basically FL from the menu outside of FFXI, it shows just that, your friend list, with a slightly different interface featuring buttons.

You can't search people with it.

[Priran]

You can search people for what server they're on, but it's easily circumvented.


Edit: I don't mean with FL+, I mean it's possible.

Yeah, Garuda has about ten hnmls and two groups of rmt camping kings. Dynamis is always taken unless you go at 5pm est or earlier. Lots of drama and MPK.

Garuda is a bad scary place.

Want me to finish this thread and the stupid speculation? At most you'll be allowed to move your account/character once per six months. If they do it any more than that then they're just retarded. They won't though because it would ruin end game. No way anyones going to camp kings or HNMs if there are 200 linkshells there (which there could potentially be with free will transferring).

There will be no massive inflation/deflation lasting longer than 2 days because of the law of one price, which states that in a small, open economy (small being defined as the fact that it can't change the world rates) for one good there shall be one price. It's qutie obvious why this is, but if you need me to explain it in more detail I will. Basically there will be massive fluctuation in the first 1 to 2 days, but this prices will be equal across all servers.

Heh... lets see here:

Edi, Demo, Stellvia, hestia, VV, RA (phoenix down.. ), Whatever SV calls themselves these days, erm.. gatelords shell, other random no name shells.

oh.. and us I suppose... heh.. we simply can't get along on garuda.. that would be way too freaking easy.

And Dynamis is far far worse.. beyond all the listed shells, there are at least 4-5 "serious" outside shells that- run constantly, and then 1-2 new ones a month.

People on Garuda no longer want to build up thier own reputations and join estabilshed linkshells. Obviously the only way to go is to make new ones nigh constantly.

i welcome the idea of server migration due to the fact that i have a few rl friends i know that play on another server and want to come over to the server i am on.

[Titanss]

I think it will add a great new dynamic to the game and if someone does steal/change its not like it won't be front page news on these boards just because they change their name isn't going to save them, their Race/Jobs/Items/ and levels will be in bold i'm sure. Also "Random Name" shows up looking for a HNMls any decent leader will be suspicious.

[Doombear]

=( Yar.

[talentwo]

Seraph seems like heaven compared to all these other posts. Seraph endgame is not bad. 6-9 Hnms Dynamis sometimes gets ugly. Not to mention we use the /random system but only at NQ's/kings dont think i've seen a /random at cerb or any other hnm.

[Bagel]

I remember /random :'(

[Ish]

Yar wtf? Who are you? Oh Tyra you forgot Div, pretty big omission lol...

[Ravenlokk]

If my server dies, im moving to seraph and gonna bug Rukenshin on a daily basis >:D

[Kiro]

I'm going to migrate to some backwater server. Oh wai-

Crap lol.. i was sure I freaking put them in there.

Yeah.. you certianly cannot forget div.. they are pretty effective.

bah.. getting old.

[SassiAsura]

Everyone's going to try and apply with the "cool" crowd. Or at least join their servers and try and get into the endgame. I think most established LS' will most likely stick together. So people migrating will probably be the scum with ruined reps. AKA NA Viking members of asura.

[Dark Vincent]

NA are behind the times on our server.

So sad but so true.

But yeah, every MMO I've played that allows server transfer, charge a fee for it and have some other restrictions attached to it such as amount of game currency/items that can be taken with you as well as timeframe that blocks you to keep transfering back and forth. Eventually economy becomes nearly equal on all servers too.
For some reason I have the feeling they will block people from keeping relic weapons upon server switch. Dont ask me why D:

[Valena]

It would probably be limited to one and only one migration per character.

So main drama would be ls bank robbers, yeah .... and possibly the french moving to Gilgamesh.
